#Lore24 The mirror is looking back at you! #Creature24 Doppelgangers

 Even at the edge of the Deep here in Rastapol there a still ways further down into madness.  Them Ladies in their towers spend all kinds of time staring at themselves, buts its what's staring back that'll give you shivers right down to your feets.

-- Rickshaw Jack, Street Performer and procurer, Rastapol, UslaCairne

Mirrors are a reflection not of this place but a corridor through which something else gains access to the likeness and habits of the onlooker.  The creature on the other side of the mirror does not follow the the viewer, it is learning mannerisms, language, and skills by assuming the persona of its next victim creating a reflection through which it can influence the realm.  These Doppelgangers come from an alien realm parallel to UslaCairne, they can step temporarily into the realm connected to a tether through the mirror from which they stepped through.  If the tether is broken the immediately return to the mirror and if it is damaged it merely shrinks the size of the portal which extends the learning time of the doppelganger.
